How Artificial Intelligence is Changing the Workplace

The dust has still not settled from the paradigm-shifting impact of Big Data on the way we work, largely because technology continues to spiral upward at a staggering pace. With the Internet of Things (IOT) turning everyday devices into a source of raw data for analytics to generate business insight, artificial intelligence is now coming of age to make analytics even more productive and efficient in the workplace. In the next year, organizations expect to have 10 to 1,000 times more data than today. Established industry leaders with decades of industry and domain expertise, such as SAS, are at the forefront of helping businesses capture data, discover meaningful insights and deploy the benefits throughout their organizations.

The Culture Shift

These days, AI is changing both the competitive landscape and customer expectations to create a culture shift at top organizations. In the long run, this type of digital transformation improves the way we work. Leading organizations are experiencing a culture shift being championed by executives that realize that the digital transformation ushered in by AI is changing the competitive landscape and shifting expectations with customers that are changing virtually all aspects of how we operate. And the biggest shift is how we view, value and monetize information - made possible through data-driven decision-making.

Sharing Beyond the Company Walls

Just as big data and digital transformation are busting internal silos, there's also a similar change in how organizations share data externally with customers, suppliers and regulators. Recent global research by MIT Sloan Management Review has shown that Innovation is more prevalent among organizations that source and share data more openly with external stakeholders, according to 2017 data from the MIT Sloan Management Review.

AI is Transforming Healthcare

When it comes to radiology, AI is aiding doctors in making diagnoses by allowing the processing to take place more quickly and without additional resources. Doctors are now able to gain insights from a scan without a radiologist, because the algorithm has quickly scanned billions of rows of data, identifying patterns in the scans that match those in the data set.

Improving Communities through Data

In the nonprofit world, Big Data can be life-changing. For HIV nonprofit CrescentCare, that has meant using SAS data visualization to understand its own population and provide care to more than 20,000 patients. The nonprofit also tracks patients who have moved outside of their coverage area in order to work with other organizations to provide ongoing support.
